We aimed to evaluate the perioperative findings and postoperative outcomes of patients with non-infected pilonidal sinus disease (PSD) undergoing Karydakis Flap (KF) or tension-free primary midline closure (TFPC).

There were no significant differences between groups in terms of gender, hematoma, wound dehiscence, infection, recurrence and lenght of hospital stay (p>0.05). The mean operative time was significantly longer for TFPC group than KF group (27.8 min vs. 35.9 min, p
